Dear All, Anusvara and Visarga are not required for Tamil. Tamil Grammar (first chapter) deals with writing system. Tamil writing system is different to mostly other Indic system. primarily, Tamil alphabet does not represent sounds, but represents Places of articulation. Most Indic alphabet

Dear Michael, It is better if you do do some research before commenting. you say Tamil has 10 vowels. No Tamil has 5 basic PoA for generating vowels. then it has 5 of double matrai (not matra) matrai is to do with momental-timin!!! then it has grammar rule to extend vowel timing further, which

Phoneme is tied to straight jacketed Alphabet as sound. So the Western thoughts does not apply to all sounds generateable represented by Alphabet as poA. You could still agree to the existence of numerous vowel sounds represented by structured PoAs. The linguists are wrong with classical and

What is Phonemic

Tamil alphabet represents places of articulation. An average linguist, not capable of understanding the ancient scientific methodology in which the alphabet is made to represent the places of articulation and not phonemes, attempts to relate phonemic principles to this original alphabet system.
